DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Various aspects of the disclosed subject matter are now described with reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to refer to like elements throughout. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of one or more aspects. It may be evident, however, that such aspect(s) may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to facilitate describing one or more aspects.

Vehicles can comprise communication features (e.g., communication and/or content presentation devices) that can be utilized to provide information, entertainment, and other services to occupants of a vehicle and/or allow communications between the occupant of a vehicle and other users outside of the vehicle. Autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles are expected to become more prevalent in the years to come. Occupants of an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle will have to interact significantly less with such vehicle with regard to driving the vehicle or managing the travel of the vehicle as it travels to the desired destination of the occupants. For instance, a “driver” of an autonomous vehicle will no longer have to focus on driving the vehicle on the road, and, as such, the “driver” can have space (e.g., time space) available where such person may desire to be entertained. This can be particularly true for longer drives where the passengers of the vehicle do not have to interact with the vehicle to get from origin to destination. If the passengers are left alone for too long without stimulation, the passengers may fall asleep. There can be a space for keeping passengers awake, as well as opportunities to create entertainment and other stimulative experiences associated with the travel route to keep passengers desirably stimulated while traveling in an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle.

To that end, techniques for managing interactive content and providing interactive content to occupants of an automated vehicle (e.g., autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle) to enhance their experience while in the vehicle are presented. The disclosed subject matter can provide vehicle occupants with a fully immersive entertainment or otherwise stimulative experience while the occupants are in the vehicle.

The disclosed subject matter can comprise an orchestrator component that can determine interactive content based at least in part on conditions associated with the vehicle (e.g., environmental conditions associated with the vehicle, conditions of the vehicle, including conditions relating to vehicle capabilities or functions), user preferences (e.g., preferences of a vehicle occupant(s)), user context (e.g., mood or level of stimulation of the user), video content, or other desired (e.g., pertinent) information. Interactive content can comprise video content, audio content, and/or control content. The video content can comprise augmented reality (AR) and/or virtual reality (VR) content. The orchestrator component or an agent component of or associated with the orchestrator component can present a portion of the interactive content (e.g., video content, AR content, VR content, and/or audio content), via a presentation component (e.g., one or more display screens and/or an audio system) of the vehicle or user equipment (UE) (e.g., a communication device, such as a mobile or smart phone, an AR/VR headwear or eyeglasses, an electronic pad or tablet, or a computer, . . . ), to the occupant of the vehicle. The orchestrator component or associated agent component can utilize the control content of the interactive content to control vehicle operation in relation to or in synchronization with the presentation of the portion of the interactive content, via the presentation component or UE, to the occupant in the vehicle. In accordance with various embodiments, the presented content and/or control content can comprise haptic content that can provide haptic stimulation or feedback to the occupant. In some embodiments, the one or more display screens can be integrated with or associated with one or more windows (e.g., front windshield, door or side windows, and/or back window) of the vehicle, and/or can be located in one or more regions of the vehicle (e.g., display screen that can raise up from the dashboard or can drop down from the vehicle ceiling in proximity to the front windshield, display screen that can raise up from a vehicle door or can drop down from the vehicle ceiling, and/or display screen that can raise up from panel behind the back seats or can drop down from the vehicle ceiling in proximity to the rear window).

In certain embodiments, the orchestrator component can detect or determine the context (e.g., cognitive load, mood, level of stimulation, . . . ) of an occupant of a vehicle based at least in part on sensor data received from a sensor component in the vehicle. The orchestrator component can match the context of the vehicle occupant to the activity level of the occupant to stimulate the occupant and/or keep the occupant awake without exhausting the occupant (e.g., without overstimulating the occupant to the point of exhaustion).

In some embodiments, the orchestrator component can correlate between certain roads on which the vehicle can travel and entertainment presentations (e.g., interactive content) presented to a vehicle occupant. The orchestrator component also can correlate (or inversely correlate) entertainment presentations based at least in part on the weather or other environmental conditions being experienced by the vehicle occupant while traveling in the vehicle. In accordance with various other embodiments, the orchestrator component can provide interactive content that can provide education or health benefits to the vehicle occupant, or interactive content that can comprise advertising (e.g., contextual advertising or other advertising) or be associated with advertising along or in proximity to the route of travel of the vehicle. The orchestrator component can design entertainment or educational experiences around geographic locations, sports, historical sites, nostalgia, local activities, or even road materials, etc. As desired, such entertainment or education experiences can be sold to a vehicle occupant. For example, an entertainment experience can be associated with a particular roadway, which can have unique characteristics, wherein the orchestrator component can determine and generate interactive content based at least in part on the unique characteristics of that roadway. Such entertainment experience can be sold to a vehicle occupant, wherein the vehicle occupant can purchase the entertainment experience and enjoy the entertainment experience as the vehicle travels on the roadway.

In certain embodiments, the orchestrator component (e.g., employing the associated agent component) can control vehicle operation to have the vehicle recreate a vehicle action sequence (e.g., car stunts or car action scenes in a movie) in a video program (e.g., movie, television program, or other video program) being presented to the occupant in the vehicle (e.g., the vehicle can perform the vehicle action sequence) in synchronization with the presentation of the portion of interactive content (e.g., movie video content, or AR or VR content generated based at least in part on the movie video content) that contains the vehicle action sequence. The orchestrator component (e.g., employing the associated agent component) also can notify nearby vehicles when the vehicle is going to be recreating the vehicle action sequence, so that those nearby vehicles are aware that the vehicle is going to be recreating the vehicle action sequence and can thereby operate accordingly (e.g., operate to avoid colliding with the vehicle). In some embodiments, if desired (e.g., by the occupant of the vehicle), the orchestrator component (e.g., employing the associated agent component) can invite an occupant of another vehicle to have that other vehicle participate with the vehicle in the vehicle action sequence.

These and other aspects and embodiments of the disclosed subject matter will now be described with respect to the drawings.

In accordance with various other embodiments, the orchestrator component 104 can provide interactive content that can provide education or health benefits to the occupant of the vehicle 102, or interactive content that can comprise advertising (e.g., contextual advertising or other advertising) or be associated with advertising along or in proximity to the route of travel of the vehicle 102. In some embodiments, the orchestrator component 104 can control one or more electronic advertising devices (e.g., electronic billboards or other electronic advertisements) along a travel route of the vehicle 102, and/or can negotiate with a device(s) associated with such electronic advertising device(s), to have the one or more electronic advertising devices present certain interactive content (e.g., AR or VR content and/or customized advertising) to the occupant of the vehicle 102 as the vehicle 102 is traveling in proximity to each of the one or more electronic advertising devices.

The orchestrator component 104 also can design or create entertainment or educational experiences around geographic locations, sports, historical sites, nostalgia, local activities, or even road materials, etc. For example, if the vehicle 102 is at or relatively near to a historical site or a site for which a desirable educational experience can be presented (and/or based at least in part on user preferences of the occupant that indicate the occupant may be interested in an entertainment or educational experience relating to the historical site or the site associated with the desirable educational experience), the orchestrator component 104 can recommend a desirable entertainment or educational experience to the occupant of the vehicle 102 via the agent component 106 and/or the presentation component (or UE 110 of the occupant), wherein such entertainment or educational experience can comprise interactive content relating to such historical site or other site associated with the desirable educational experience. In response to the occupant selecting such entertainment or educational experience, the orchestrator component 104 can design (e.g., determine) or create a desirable entertainment or educational experience, which can comprise interactive content relating to such historical site or other site associated with the desirable educational experience. In some embodiments, the orchestrator component 104 can already have pre-determined and pre-generated all or a portion of the interactive content regarding such entertainment or educational experience, and can retrieve all or the portion of the interactive content from a database, which can be stored in the data store 122. The orchestrator component 104 can provide such entertainment or educational experience, including such interactive content, or information relating thereto, to the agent component 106 for presentation to the occupant of the vehicle 102.

In certain embodiments, as desired, such entertainment or education experiences can be sold to a vehicle occupant (e.g., as part of a subscription or on an individual or on-demand basis). For example, an entertainment experience can be associated with a particular roadway, which has unique characteristics, and the orchestrator component 104 can determine and generate interactive content based at least in part on the unique characteristics of that roadway. Such entertainment experience can be sold to an occupant of the vehicle 102, wherein the vehicle occupant can purchase the entertainment experience and enjoy the entertainment experience as the vehicle 102 travels on the roadway.

As an example use of the system 100 by a user, a user (e.g., occupant) can be inside the vehicle 102 and can engage the system 100. The orchestrator component 104 can identify the user based at least in part on sensor data obtained from sensors of the sensor component 116 sensing the user or user input information (e.g., identification information and/or authentication information) received from the user. The orchestrator component 104 can retrieve a user profile of the user from a data store 122, wherein the user profile can comprise information relating to the user, such as preferences and/or interests of the user, and/or historical activity of the user, etc. The preferences and/or interests of the user can relate to, for example, the types of content (e.g., action content, drama content, comedy content, . . . ; movie content, television program content, . . . ; audio content; . . . ) the user desires, the format of the content (e.g., video content without AR or VR; content with AR and/or VR) desired by the user, and/or entities (e.g., particular actors or performers) preferred by the user. The historical activity can relate to, for example, past content the user has experienced (e.g., viewed and/or listened to) while traveling in the vehicle 102 (or another vehicle), locations the user has visited while traveling in the vehicle 102 (or another vehicle), and/or past interactions of the user with the system 100.

If the user has not selected particular content or a particular experience, the orchestrator component 104 can determine content (e.g., interactive content, video content, and/or audio content) that can be desirable to the user based at least in part on the result of analyzing the preferences and/or interests of the user, historical activity of the user, user input information received (e.g., via an interface of the agent component 106) from the user, and/or a context (e.g., mood, cognitive load, level of stimulation, . . . ) of the user as determined by the orchestrator component 104 based at least in part on sensor data. If the user has a particular destination in mind, the orchestrator component 104 or another component of or associated with the vehicle 102 can control operation of the vehicle 102 to have the vehicle travel to the desired destination. If the user does not have a particular destination in mind, but rather just desires to travel and be entertained in the vehicle 102, the orchestrator component 104 can determine a destination to which to take the user based at least in part on the result of analyzing the preferences and/or interests of the user, the historical activity of the user, user input information received (e.g., via an interface of the agent component 106) from the user, and/or the context of the user. The user input information can comprise, for instance, information regarding a general interest of the user with regard to where to travel. The orchestrator component 104 can analyze and utilize the information regarding the general interest of the user as a seed in determining a travel destination and/or a travel route to the destination for the user.

In some embodiments, the user (e.g., vehicle occupant) can provide input information that can comprise, for example, a picture or video depicting a location, a situation, or an activity (e.g., a vehicle action sequence). The orchestrator component 104 can analyze such input information (e.g., picture or video) and/or other relevant information, and can determine an entertainment experience, including interactive content, based at least in part on the results of analyzing the picture or video and/or the other relevant information (e.g., location data, environmental conditions, and/or vehicle conditions, . . . ).

In some embodiments, as the vehicle 102 is traveling and presenting content to the user, the orchestrator component 104 can identify and track location mentions or references in the content, which the orchestrator component 104 can store (e.g., in the data store 122) and serialize, for instance, until the user goes to a specific location. For example, if the content references a particular location (e.g., a city near where the vehicle 102 is traveling, a historical location near where the vehicle 102 is traveling, or a filming location where a scene of the content (e.g., movie content) was filmed, . . . ), the orchestrator component 104 can identify that particular location and store information relating to that particular location in the data store 122, and/or can present (e.g., via the agent component 106 and/or presentation component and/or UE 110) a recommendation (e.g. suggestion) to the user to recommend traveling to that particular location. If a particular entertainment experience (e.g., recreation of a vehicle action sequence from the movie that was filmed at the particular location) can be provided by the orchestrator component 104 and/or vehicle 102, the orchestrator component 104 also can present, to the user, information that can indicate the availability of such particular entertainment experience.

In accordance with various embodiments, to facilitate determining a travel destination and/or an entertainment experience for the user, the orchestrator component 104 can allow the user to provide input (e.g., user input information) as interactive guidance. For instance, the orchestrator component 104 can present, via the agent component 106, presentation component and/or UE 110, various topics to the user, wherein the user can select a desired topic using an interface of the agent component 106, presentation component, and/or UE 110. The topics can relate to, for example, genres (e.g., nostalgia, historical travel, . . . ), alignment with personal events (e.g., sports events or activities, life events or activities, local events or activities, . . . ), and/or seasonal topics or guidance (e.g., Fall-related, Spring-related, Summer-related, or Winter-related events or activities; Halloween-related, Thanksgiving-related, or Christmas-related events or activities; . . . ) for what can be done at different times of the year.

Additionally, or alternatively, the orchestrator component 104 can present, via the agent component 106, presentation component, and/or UE 110, various examples (e.g., content examples, activity examples, event examples, . . . ) to the user, wherein the user can select a desired example using an interface of the agent component 106, presentation component, and/or UE 110. For instance, the orchestrator component 104 can present a specific content example (e.g., recorded content, pictures, etc.) to the user.

Additionally, or alternatively, the orchestrator component 104 can present, via the agent component 106, presentation component, and/or UE 110, various items to the user to allow for discovery of different items by the user, wherein the user can select a desired item using an interface of the agent component 106, presentation component, and/or UE 110. For instance, the orchestrator component 104 can present, via the agent component 106, presentation component, and/or UE 110, certain areas, certain sites, or crowd-suggested areas in a locale nearby the vehicle 102. The orchestrator component 104 can receive (e.g., obtain or collect) information regarding locales where people can be gathered and/or that people have recommended, and can determine crowd-suggested areas based at least in part on the results of analyzing such received information. These can be areas, sites, or locales that the user may or may not typically consider. For example, the orchestrator component 104, employing the agent component 106, presentation component, and/or UE 110, can allow the user to select or modify the diversity of actions and locations (e.g., areas, sites, or locales) that can be presented to the user to break the user out of the user's “filter bubble” to present new or different locations and activities that the user may not have otherwise considered.

In other embodiments, additionally or alternatively, the orchestrator component 104 can present, via the agent component 106, presentation component, and/or UE 110, contextual recommendations that can be determined based at least in part on the user and/or other users (e.g., other occupants of the vehicle 102) and/or the respective contexts of the user and/or other users. For instance, the orchestrator component 104 can determine the contextual recommendations based at least in part on user input information received from one or more users (e.g., one or more occupants of the vehicle 102), user preferences of the one or more users, and/or sensor data indicating respective contexts (e.g., mood, level of stimulation, . . . ) of the one or more users. The contextual recommendations determined and presented by the orchestrator component 104 also can be based at least in part on interactive content currently being presented to the user(s) in the vehicle 102. As an example of contextual recommendations, if there is a child in the vehicle 102, a user (e.g., parent of the child) can desire that the contextual recommendations (e.g., recommendation for an entertainment experience, including the interactive content) take into account or accommodate the characteristics (e.g., age, sex, interests, . . . ) of the child, and can provide user input information or can have user preferences indicating that the characteristics of the child be taken into account. The orchestrator component 104 can determine contextual recommendations based at least in part on the characteristics of the child as well as the user input information and/or user preferences associated with the other user(s) (e.g., parent) and/or context(s) of the user(s).

As an alternative example, even if there is a child in the vehicle 102, a user (e.g., parent) can desire that the fact that a child is in the vehicle 102 can be disregarded when determining contextual recommendations for the users in the vehicle 102, and can provide user input information and/or have user preferences indicating that the child can be disregarded when determining contextual recommendations. The orchestrator component 104 can determine the contextual recommendations based at least in part on the user input information and/or user preferences associated with the other user(s) (e.g., parent) and/or context(s) of the user(s), while disregarding the fact that the child is in the vehicle 102.

In some embodiments, with regard to an entertainment experience selected by an occupant(s) of the vehicle 102, the orchestrator component 104 can determine and tailor (e.g., customize) interactive content of the entertainment experience for different occupants based at least in part on the respective characteristics and/or preferences of the different occupants, wherein a first portion of the interactive content can be determined for and presented to a first occupant of the vehicle 102 and a second portion of the interactive content (e.g., different interactive content) can be determined for and presented to a second occupant of the vehicle 102. For instance, the orchestrator component 104 can analyze the respective characteristics and/or preferences of the different occupants of the vehicle 102. Based at least in part on the results of analyzing the respective characteristics and/or preferences of the first and second occupants, with regard to the entertainment experience, the orchestrator component 104 can determine the first portion of the interactive content to be presented to the first occupant and the second portion of the interactive content to be presented to the second occupant. The differences in the first portion and second portion of the interactive content can comprise differences in the visual content (e.g., video content, AR content, and/or VR content), audio content, control content, and/or haptic content presented or provided to the first and second occupants or provided in connection with the first and second occupants.

For example, if the first occupant is an adult and/or an educated person, and the second occupant is a child and/or a less educated person, the orchestrator component 104 can determine the first portion of the interactive content and the second portion of the interactive content to have the first portion provide the first occupant an entertainment experience that can be customized to be desirable (e.g., suitable or optimal) to an adult and/or educated person (and in accordance with the first occupant's preferences and characteristics) and the second portion provide the second occupant an entertainment experience that can be customized to be desirable (e.g., suitable or optimal) to a child and/or less educated person (and in accordance with the second occupant's preferences and characteristics). For instance, if the entertainment experience relates to a historical site or event, the first portion of the interactive content can comprise more detailed visual content and/or audio content regarding the historical site or event than the second portion of the interactive content. As an additional or alternative example, the second portion of the interactive content can comprise visual content (and associated audio content) that can be in a cartoon form suitable for the age and/or education level (e.g., relatively lower age and/or education level) of the second occupant, whereas the first portion of the interactive content can comprise visual content (and associated audio content) that can include detailed and/or graphic video or visual images (and detailed and/or graphic information in audio form) relating to the historical site or event that can be more suitable for the age and/or education level of the first occupant.

The orchestrator component 104 can communicate the first and second portions of the interactive content to or via the agent component 106. The first portion of the interactive content (e.g., the first visual content and first audio content of the first portion) can be presented to the first occupant of the vehicle 102 via a first display screen(s) and/or first audio interface of the presentation component or via the first occupant's UE (e.g., UE 110), and the second portion of the interactive content (e.g., the second visual content and second audio content of the second portion) can be presented to the second occupant via a second display screen(s) and/or second audio interface of the presentation component or via the second occupant's UE.

The orchestrator component 104 also can perform a run-time variance of entertainment experiences, including interactive content, presented or provided to users based at least in part on a number of factors, including, for example, crowd issues associated with entertainment experiences (e.g., crowd control), biometric issues (e.g., biometric-based variance) associated with users, and/or needs or desires of users or associated vehicles (e.g., locations of charging stations for charging of the vehicle 102, accommodations for vehicle occupants, . . . ). For instance, the orchestrator component 104 can control entertainment experiences to achieve desired crowd control with respect to respective locations of respective entertainment experiences to avoid having too many people at one particular location. If the orchestrator component 104 determines that a particular location associated with a particular entertainment experience has a relatively large crowd (e.g., the number of people at such location exceeds a defined threshold number of people applicable to such location), the orchestrator component 104 can determine that the entertainment experience should not be provided to the user and associated vehicle 102, or can recommend a different entertainment experience to the user, or can offer the entertainment experience to the user with a surcharge (e.g., an additional cost (e.g., financial cost)). A surcharge can discourage the user from selecting the entertainment experience, but still allow the user to select the entertainment experience if it is important enough to the user.

As another example, the orchestrator component 104 can determine and entertainment experience, including interactive content, or a portion thereof, based at least in part on an opinion or response of a user(s) to the current activity, limitations of a user(s) (e.g., tolerance for certain possible movements of the vehicle 102, tolerance for a certain type of music or volume of music, tolerance for alcohol, or other limitations) in the vehicle 102 (e.g., as known by the orchestrator component 104). For instance, if an occupant of the vehicle 102 has a particular low tolerance to loud music or sounds, the orchestrator component 104 can learn of such tolerance through input information or preferences from or associated with the occupant and/or can identify such tolerance based at least in part on the results of evaluating sensor data relating to the response of the occupant to loud music or sounds or being advised that an entertainment experience can involve loud music or sounds. The orchestrator component 104 can tailor (e.g., customize), modify, or structure an entertainment experience, including interactive content, to present (e.g., via the agent component 106, presentation component, and/or UE 110) the entertainment experience, including interactive content, to the occupant at a volume level that is lower than a threshold volume level above which has been determined to be too loud for the occupant and/or can recommend or present an entertainment experience, including interactive content, that does not contain loud music or sounds.

If an occupant has a relatively low tolerance for sudden or jerking vehicle movements (e.g., if the occupant can easily get car sick or has another health condition that can make sudden or jerking vehicle movements undesirable, inadvisable, or potentially dangerous), the orchestrator component 104 learn or identify such low tolerance for sudden or jerking vehicle movements based at least in part on input information or preferences from or associated with the occupant and/or can identify such low tolerance based at least in part on the results of evaluating sensor data relating to the response of the occupant to sudden or jerking vehicle movements or being advised that an entertainment experience can involve sudden or jerking vehicle movements. The orchestrator component 104 can tailor, modify, or structure an entertainment experience, including interactive content, to present (e.g., via the agent component 106, presentation component, and/or UE 110) the entertainment experience, including interactive content and including control of operation of the vehicle 102, to the occupant such that particular movements (e.g., acceleration, stops, turns, . . . ) of the vehicle 102 can be lower than a threshold movement level above which has been determined to be too high of vehicle movement for the occupant and/or can recommend or present an entertainment experience, including interactive content and control of operation of the vehicle 102, that does not involve vehicle movements that would exceed the threshold movement level. For instance, the orchestrator component 104 can tailor or modify an entertainment experience, including interactive content and operation of the vehicle 102, to modify or exclude a portion(s) of the entertainment experience, including interactive content and operation of the vehicle 102, that would involve movement of the vehicle that would exceed the threshold movement level.

As still another example of run-time variance or structuring of entertainment experiences, the orchestrator component 104 can determine or tailor an entertainment experience, including interactive content and operation of the vehicle 102, to account for needs or desires of a vehicle occupant or the vehicle 102. For instance, the orchestrator component 104 can determine the charging specifications (e.g., charging requirements, traveling range on a charge) of the vehicle 102, a current charge level of the batteries of the vehicle 102, the amount of power to be used during an entertainment experience (e.g., for each entertainment experience under consideration, and for each portion (e.g., leg) of each entertainment experience), locations of charging stations, and/or respective charging costs at respective charging stations, based at least in part on an analysis of sensor data associated with the vehicle 102, information relating to locations of charging stations, and information relating to entertainment experiences. Based at least in part on such determinations, the orchestrator component 104 can determine, tailor, and/or recommend (e.g., to the occupant) an entertainment experience, including interactive content and operation of the vehicle 102, that can desirably entertain the vehicle occupant, and/or a travel route that is suitable for the entertainment experience, while also being able to satisfy the charging specifications (e.g., charging requirements or needs) of the vehicle 102 and/or other criteria (e.g., financial costs for charging the vehicle 102).

Additionally or alternatively, the orchestrator component 104 can determine locations of restaurants, restroom facilities, hotels or motels, and/or other types of accommodations, and/or respective costs or other factors or constraints (e.g., financial costs, time costs, . . . ) associated with such accommodations, based at least in part on information relating to accommodations, and can determine desires or preferences of the vehicle occupant with regard to the various types of accommodations based at least in part on input information and/or preferences associated with the occupant or sensor data relating to the response of the occupant to various types of accommodations. Based at least in part on such determinations, the orchestrator component 104 can determine, tailor, and/or recommend (e.g., to the occupant) an entertainment experience, including interactive content and operation of the vehicle 102, that can desirably entertain the vehicle occupant, and/or a travel route that is suitable for the entertainment experience, while also being able to satisfy the desires or preferences for accommodations of the occupant of the vehicle 102 (and/or satisfy other applicable constraints or factors).

In certain embodiments, the orchestrator component 104 can determine content (e.g., interactive content and associated entertainment experience) recommendations with regard to locations. For instance, the orchestrator component 104 can determine a location for context and/or exploration of the location with respect to an occupant of the vehicle 102, based at least in part on input information or preferences associated with the occupant (and/or other users), context associated with the occupant and/or vehicle 102, and/or sensor data relating to the occupant and/or vehicle 102, and the orchestrator can recommend (e.g., via the agent component 106, presentation component, and/or UE 110) the location to the occupant for future or current consumption (e.g., experiencing) by the occupant and/or other users. As desired, the orchestrator component 104, employing the agent component 106, sensor component 116, presentation component, and/or UE 110, can facilitate creating a streaming or live retelling of the content (e.g., interactive content) associated with the location to augment the location and/or entertainment experience associated with the location. The orchestrator component 104 can facilitate presenting the streaming or live retelling of the content on another device (e.g., a communication device, such as a television, computer, or mobile or smart phone) and/or storing the streaming or live retelling of the content in the data store 122.

In accordance with various embodiments, the orchestrator component 104 can determine and generate an entertainment experience, including interactive content, that can create or recreate a desired activity or event. The desired activity or event can comprise or relate to, for example, an amusement park ride (e.g., a rollercoaster, a Ferris or observation wheel, dodgem or bumper cars (without actually bumping or crashing into other vehicles), tunnel of love ride, or other ride), a drag race or car race (e.g., a generic drag or car race, or a recreation or reenactment of a race), a parade or holiday-themed activity (e.g., Thanksgiving Day parade, Christmas parade, St. Patrick's Day parade, haunted house, or other parade, activity, or event), a game (e.g., occupant can be immersed in and be a participant in the recreation of a desired game, which can be a board game, electronic game, or video game), a plane ride (e.g., jet plane ride or historical plane ride), a helicopter ride, a spaceship expedition, a historical scene (e.g., a historical reenactment of a historical event, such as a war event, a civil rights event, or other desired historical event), a military scene (e.g., a World War II, Vietnam War, or Civil War battle reenactment), an environmental or recreational activity (e.g., a scenic vehicle ride, such as a scenic train ride (e.g., a scenic trade ride through a scenic part of the western United States), or a white water rafting excursion in a scenic location), a vehicle driving stunt (e.g., fishtailing, donut maneuver, vehicle jump, driving on two wheels, or other desired stunt), or another desired activity or event.

The orchestrator component 104 can receive and analyze user input information, user preference information, sensor information from the sensor component 116 (or another source of sensor data), and/or other information, and can determine the desired activity or event based at least in part on the results of analyzing such information. Also, based at least in part on an analysis of such information and information retrieved from the data store 122 or other data sources (e.g., a database external to the data store 122), the orchestrator component 104 can determine interactive content that can desirably create, recreate, or reenact the desired activity or event. The interactive content can comprise visual content, which can include AR and/or VR content, wherein the AR content can augment a real-world scene (e.g., an AR 3-D scene) with visual, audio, and/or textual content generated by the orchestrator component 104, and wherein the VR content can comprise a virtual scene (e.g., a virtual 3-D scene) that can include visual (e.g., virtual objects), audio, and/or textual content generated by the orchestrator component 104. The interactive content also can comprise control content that can be utilized by the agent component 106 to facilitate controlling operation of the vehicle 102 (e.g., controlling movement and steering of the vehicle 102, controlling seat components of the seating system 218, controlling suspension components of the suspension system 208, . . . ) to facilitate desirably creating, recreating, or reenacting the desired activity or event in connection with (e.g., in synchronization with, or in relation to) the presentation of the visual content via the presentation component or UE 110.

In some embodiments, the orchestrator component 104 can utilize artificial intelligence (AI), including AI techniques and/or AI algorithms, to determine the interactive content, such as, for example, the control content. For example, the orchestrator component 104 can employ desired AI techniques and/or algorithms to have an AI component (not shown) interact with the suspension system 208 (e.g., hydraulics components or other suspension components) of the vehicle 102 to enhance the sensations the occupant experiences during the presentation of the entertainment experience, including the interactive content, and/or otherwise enhance the traveling experience of the occupant in the vehicle 102.

In accordance with various embodiments, the orchestrator component 104 or the agent component 106 can learn and/or determine location physics for an area (e.g., geographical region), wherein the orchestrator component 104 or the agent component 106 can learn and/or determine, for example, patterns for the area and can utilize those patterns for different content (e.g., bin packing and matching between different moves and content). For example, as the vehicle 102 (or another vehicle) is traveling through a given area, the orchestrator component 104 or the agent component 106 of the vehicle 102 (or another agent component of the other vehicle) can learn and/or determine patterns or characteristics for the given area, and the orchestrator component 104 can utilize those patterns or characteristics with respect to different content that can be presented or provided to occupants of vehicles that subsequently travel in that given area. For instance, the orchestrator component 104 can determine control content to that is to be utilized (e.g., executed) by a vehicle traveling in the given area based at least in part on those patterns or characteristics of the given area as well as other information (e.g., sensor data relating to vehicle conditions of such vehicle, environmental conditions associated with the area, . . . ).

The orchestrator component 104 can provide (e.g., communicate) the interactive content to the agent component 106, or the agent component 106 can otherwise access the interactive content (e.g., when the agent component 106 is part of the orchestrator component 104). The agent component 106 can utilize the interactive content to present the visual and audio portions (e.g., visual and audio content, which can comprise AR and/or VR content) of the interactive content via the presentation component of the vehicle 102, and the control content to control operation of the vehicle components 108 of the vehicle 102 in connection with (e.g., in synchronization with) the presentation of the visual and audio portions of the interactive content to desirably create, recreate, or reenact the desired activity or event.

As an example, non-limiting illustration, the orchestrator component 104 can provide an interactive entertainment experience that can recreate the experience of a person riding on a rollercoaster as the person is traveling in the vehicle 102. Referring to FIG. 5 (along with FIGS. 1-4 ), FIG. 5 presents a diagram of a non-limiting example interactive rollercoaster ride experience 500 associated with a road, in accordance with various aspects and embodiments of the disclosed subject matter. For instance, there can be a road 502 that can have a number of hills (e.g., hill 504, hill 506, . . . ), curves, twists, and/or other features that can bear some similarities to a rollercoaster ride. The road 502 can even be known to people as a road that is reminiscent of a rollercoaster ride. A road (e.g., road 502) or an area can be a general public road or area available for travel by vehicles, or can be a dedicated (or semi-dedicated) public or private road or area that can be available to users and associated vehicles for use in connection with an entertainment experience at a cost (e.g., rent, fee, toll, or surcharge) to such users.

In some embodiments, the orchestrator component 104 can receive information (e.g., environmental and/or road information) relating to the road 502 from one or more data sources, which can include sensor data from the vehicle 102 (e.g., from the sensor component 116 of the vehicle 102) or other vehicles that have traveled on that road, and/or land or road survey information from land or road surveys that have been performed on or with respect to the road.

The orchestrator component 104 can analyze the information relating to the road 502 and/or rollercoaster-related information relating to a rollercoaster and surrounding scenery that the orchestrator component 104 is intending to recreate. Based at least in part on the analysis results, the orchestrator component 104 can determine and generate interactive content that can recreate a rollercoaster ride experience for a vehicle occupant as a vehicle (e.g., vehicle 102) travels down that road. The interactive content can comprise AR and/or VR content that can recreate the 3-D scenery (e.g., 3-D imagery) and sounds of a rollercoaster and surrounding amusement park (e.g., other amusement park rides, foods stands, park patrons, etc., of an amusement park) that a rider may see and hear while riding the rollercoaster. The scenery of the AR and/or VR content can correspond to (e.g., can parallel or be compatible with) or substantially correspond to the hills (e.g., hill 504, hill 506, . . . ), curves, twists, and/or other features of the road 502. The orchestrator component 104 can provide (e.g., communicate) the interactive content to the agent component 106 or otherwise enable the agent component 106 to access the interactive content.

As the vehicle 102 travels on the road 502, the agent component 106 can present the visual content and audio content of the interactive content to the occupant, via the presentation component or UE 110, in synchronization with movement of the vehicle 102 on the road 502, wherein the movement of the vehicle 102 can be controlled based at least in part on the control content of the interactive content, such as described herein. In some embodiments, a front display screen 508 (e.g., of or associated with the front windshield of the vehicle 102) of the display system 222 can present a first portion of the AR and/or VR content that can recreate a first portion of the amusement park scene from a first viewing perspective that can represent what a person can see while looking forward during the rollercoaster ride; a side display screen 510 (e.g., of or associated with a door or side window of the vehicle 102) of the display system 222 can present a second portion of the AR and/or VR content that can recreate a second portion of the amusement park scene from a second viewing perspective that can represent what the person can see while looking to the side during the rollercoaster ride; and/or a rear display screen 512 (e.g., of or associated with the rear window of the vehicle 102) of the display system 222 can present a third portion of the AR and/or VR content that can recreate a third portion of the amusement park scene from a third viewing perspective that can represent what the person can see while looking behind himself or herself during the rollercoaster ride. In other embodiments, the visual content and audio content can be presented to the occupant via the UE 110. The orchestrator component 104 can determine and generate one or more different sets of interactive content that can represent or recreate one or more different rollercoaster rides (e.g., a generic rollercoaster ride, a rollercoaster side specific to the features of the road, or a popular or known rollercoaster ride from an amusement park).

The orchestrator component 104 also can determine and generate control content of the interactive content based at least in part on the results of analyzing the sensor data, the information (e.g., environmental and/or road information) relating to the road 502, wherein the sensor data can comprise environmental information relating to the environment and/or vehicle information relating to conditions associated with the vehicle 102. The agent component 106 can utilize the control content to control operation of the vehicle 102, including, for example, operation (e.g., movements) of the seating system 218, including the seats 112 and/or 114, operation of the suspension system 208, engine system 202, steering system 210, accelerator system 212, and/or brake system 214, etc., to recreate the experience (e.g., physical sensation) of riding a rollercoaster. For instance, the agent component 106 can utilize (e.g., execute) the control content to control the speed of the vehicle to slow down the speed of the vehicle 102 as the vehicle 102 moving up the highest hill on the road 502 to recreate the experience of the rollercoaster cars climbing the lift hill to the peak of the lift hill of the rollercoaster, and, after the vehicle 102 reaches the peak, increase the speed of the vehicle 102 as the vehicle 102 proceeds down the hill. The agent component 106 also can utilize the control content to control operation of the seat (e.g., 112 or 114) of the occupant and/or the suspension parts of the suspension system 208 to enhance the effects of the hills, curves, twists, and/or other features of the road 502 to enhance the physical sensation the occupant experiences during the interactive rollercoaster ride experience 500.

In another example non-limiting illustration of aspects of the disclosed subject matter, the orchestrator component 104 can provide an interactive entertainment experience that can facilitate the vehicle 102 recreating a vehicle action sequence (e.g., vehicle stunts) of a vehicle depicted in a video program. Referring to FIG. 6 (along with FIGS. 1-4 ), FIG. 6 presents a diagram of an example vehicle-action-sequence recreation process 600 associated with a video program, in accordance with various aspects and embodiments of the disclosed subject matter. In some embodiments, the orchestrator component 104, e.g., employing the agent component 106, can control vehicle operation to have the vehicle 102 recreate a vehicle action sequence 602 (e.g., car stunts or car action scenes in a movie) in a video program 604 (e.g., movie, television program, or other video program) being presented to the occupant in the vehicle 102, wherein, for example, the vehicle 102 can perform the vehicle action sequence (as depicted at reference numeral 606) in synchronization with the presentation of the portion of interactive content 608 (PORTN IC) (e.g., movie video content, or AR or VR content generated based at least in part on the movie video content) that contains the vehicle action sequence 602. The orchestrator component 104 can analyze the video program 604, and can identify the vehicle action sequence 602 in the video program 604 based at least in part on the analysis results. Also, based at least in part on the analysis results, the orchestrator component 104 can determine the individual vehicle movements of the vehicle (e.g., individual vehicle stunts and other movements) in the vehicle action sequence 602.

The orchestrator component 104 also can receive sensor data 610 from the sensor component 116, wherein one or more sensors of the sensor component 116 can sense environmental conditions (e.g., road conditions, weather conditions, . . . ) associated with the vehicle 102 and vehicle conditions of the vehicle 102 (e.g., conditions, including functionality and capabilities, of vehicle components). The orchestrator component 104 can analyze the sensor data 610, and can determine the environmental conditions and vehicle conditions associated with the vehicle 102 based at least in part on the results of analyzing the sensor data 610.

The orchestrator component 104 can determine and generate interactive content 612 (INT CONT), comprising visual or video content, AR content, VR content, audio content, haptic content, and/or control content based at least in part on the identified vehicle action sequence 602, the environmental conditions, and the vehicle conditions. The control content can be utilized to control operation of the vehicle 102 to have the vehicle 102 recreate the vehicle action sequence (as depicted at reference numeral 606) identified in the video program 604. The visual or video content, AR content, and/or VR content can be determined based at least in part on the video content of the video program 604. For instance, the AR content or VR content can recreate 3-D visual aspects of the vehicle action sequence 602 identified in the video program 604 such that, when the AR content or VR content is presented to the vehicle occupant on the display screens in the vehicle 102 or via the UE 110, the occupant can be immersed in the scene (e.g., 3-D object scene of the vehicle action sequence) in synchronization with the control content controlling the operation of the vehicle 102 to have the vehicle 102 recreate the vehicle action sequence (as depicted at reference numeral 606) as if the occupant was in the video program (e.g., in the movie, TV program, or other video content).

In some embodiments, the orchestrator component 104 (e.g., the orchestrator component 104 itself, or employing the associated agent component 106) can notify nearby vehicles when the vehicle is going to be recreating the vehicle action sequence (as depicted at reference numeral 606), so that those nearby vehicles are aware that the vehicle is going to be recreating the vehicle action sequence and can thereby operate accordingly (e.g., operate to avoid colliding with the vehicle), or alternatively, if desired (e.g., by the occupant of the vehicle 102), the orchestrator component 104 can invite an occupant of another vehicle to have that other vehicle participate with the vehicle 102 in recreating the vehicle action sequence (e.g., when the vehicle action sequence can involve two or more vehicles). Turning briefly to FIG. 7 (along with FIGS. 1-4 and 6 ), FIG. 7 presents a diagram of an example notification process 700 associated with recreation of a vehicle action sequence by the vehicle 102, in accordance with various aspects and embodiments of the disclosed subject matter. Prior to, and in connection with, the vehicle 102 recreating the vehicle action sequence, the sensor component 116 of the vehicle 102 can detect a second vehicle 702 that is in proximity to the vehicle 102 or will be in sufficiently close proximity to the vehicle 102 (as depicted at reference numeral 704) such that the other vehicle can be impacted, or at least potentially can be impacted, by the vehicle 102 recreating the vehicle action sequence (as depicted at reference numeral 606). For instance, based at least in part on analysis of the sensor data and the time period in the interactive content where the vehicle action sequence occurs, the orchestrator component 104 or agent component 106 can determine or predict that, at the time the vehicle 102 will be recreating the vehicle action sequence (as depicted at reference numeral 606), the second vehicle 702 will be in sufficiently close proximity to the vehicle 102 such that the second vehicle 702 can be impacted by the vehicle 102 recreating the vehicle action sequence.

In accordance with various embodiments, the orchestrator component 104 can generate a notification message and can communicate the notification message to the second agent component 706 of the second vehicle 702 (as depicted at reference numeral 708) to notify the second agent component 706 and/or the second occupant of the second vehicle 702 that the vehicle 102 intends to recreate the vehicle action sequence. Alternatively, the agent component 106 can generate the notification message and can communicate the notification message to the second agent component 706 of the second vehicle 702 (as depicted at reference numeral 708′) to notify the second agent component 706 and/or the second occupant of the second vehicle 702 that the vehicle 102 intends to recreate the vehicle action sequence.

If the notification message only comprises a notification regarding the vehicle action sequence, without an invitation to have the second vehicle 702 participate in the vehicle action sequence, the orchestrator component 104 and/or agent component 106 can wait for an acknowledgement message from the second agent component 706 indicating that the second vehicle 702 and associated second occupant are aware that the vehicle 102 will be recreating the vehicle action sequence and also indicating whether the second vehicle 702 and associated second occupant agree to take appropriate action to avoid any undesirable interaction with the vehicle 102 (e.g., agree to take action to avoid colliding or potentially colliding with the vehicle 102). If the notification message comprises the notification regarding the vehicle action sequence and an invitation to have the second vehicle 702 participate in the vehicle action sequence, the orchestrator component 104 and/or agent component 106 can wait for an acknowledgement message from the second agent component 706 indicating that the second vehicle 702 and associated second occupant are aware that the vehicle 102 will be recreating the vehicle action sequence and indicating whether the second vehicle 702 and associated second occupant agree to participate in recreating the vehicle action sequence, and, if not participating, indicating whether the second vehicle 702 and associated second occupant at least agree to take appropriate action to avoid any undesirable interaction with the vehicle 102.

The orchestrator component 104 can receive an acknowledgement message from the second agent component 706 (as depicted at reference numeral 710), or alternatively, the agent component 106 can receive the acknowledgement message from the second agent component 706 (as depicted at reference numeral 710′). With regard to an acknowledgement message in response to a notification (only) message (e.g., notification with no invitation), if the acknowledgement message indicates or acknowledges that the second vehicle 702 and/or the second occupant received the notification message, are aware that the vehicle 102 will be recreating the vehicle action sequence, and agree to take appropriate action to avoid any undesirable interaction with the vehicle 102, the orchestrator component 104 and/or agent component 106 can operate to allow the vehicle 102 to perform the vehicle action sequence, wherein the agent component 106 can employ (e.g., execute) the control content to control operation of the vehicle to perform the vehicle action sequence (as depicted at reference numeral 606) in connection with presentation of the portion (e.g., visual and audio portion) of the interactive content to the occupant via the presentation component or UE 110, as described herein.

If, instead, no acknowledgement message was received by the orchestrator component 104 or agent component 106, either because the second agent component 706 of the second vehicle 702 did not respond to the notification message, the second agent component 706 of the second vehicle 702 communicated a message indicating that the second vehicle 702 or second occupant do not agree to take appropriate action (e.g., appropriate avoidance action), or the acknowledgement message was sent by the second agent component 706, but not received (e.g., not received at all or not received in time) by the orchestrator component 104 or agent component 106, the orchestrator component 104 or agent component 106 can determine that the vehicle 102 is not permitted to recreate the vehicle action sequence (at least at that location), and can control operation of the vehicle 102 to not have the vehicle 102 recreate the vehicle action sequence (at least at that location). As desired, the occupant can request, and the orchestrator component 104 can determine whether, the vehicle action sequence can be performed by the vehicle 102 at a different time or different location.

With regard to a notification message that includes an invitation to have the second vehicle 702 participate in recreating the vehicle action sequence, the orchestrator component 104 can determine whether the vehicle action sequence (as depicted at reference numeral 602) can involve two or more vehicles based at least in part on the result of analyzing the video content of the video program 604 comprising the vehicle action sequence. For instance, based at least in part on the result of analyzing the video content of the video program 604, including the vehicle action sequence (as depicted at reference numeral 602), the orchestrator component 104 can determine whether the vehicle action sequence can involve two or more vehicles such that two or more vehicles, including the vehicle 102 and the second vehicle 702, can recreate the respective actions of two or more vehicles presented in the vehicle action sequence 602 of the video program 604.

If the orchestrator component 104 determines that the vehicle action sequence 602 does not involve two or more vehicles or otherwise determines that it is not appropriate for the second vehicle 702 to participate in the vehicle action sequence 602 (e.g., because of the location, position, and/or direction of travel of the second vehicle 702, because of the type or functionality of the second vehicle 702, or due to another reason), the orchestrator component 104 can determine that participation by the second vehicle 702 in the vehicle action sequence is not to occur, and the notification message will not include an invitation to participate. If the orchestrator component 104 determines that the vehicle action sequence 602 can involve two or more vehicles, and the second vehicle 702 can be one of those vehicles along with the vehicle 102, the orchestrator component 104 can advise the occupant and agent component 106 that participation by the second vehicle 702 in recreating the vehicle action sequence is an option. If the occupant desires or is amenable to the second vehicle 702 participating in recreating the vehicle action sequence, the notification message (sent as indicated at reference numeral 708 or 708′) can include an invitation for the second vehicle 702 and associated second occupant to participate in recreating the vehicle action sequence.

If an acknowledgement message is received by the orchestrator component 104 (as indicated at reference numeral 710) or agent component 106 (as indicated at reference numeral 710′) that indicates that the second vehicle 702 and/or second occupant received the notification message, are aware that the vehicle 102 will be recreating the vehicle action sequence (as indicated at reference numeral 606), and agree to take appropriate action to avoid any undesirable interaction with the vehicle 102 (e.g., agree to take action to avoid colliding or potentially colliding with the vehicle 102), but do not desire to participate in recreating the vehicle action sequence, the orchestrator component 104 or agent component 106 can control operation of the vehicle 102, based at least in part on the control content, to have the vehicle 102 recreate (e.g., perform or execute) the vehicle action sequence (as indicated at reference numeral 606) in conjunction with the presentation of the first portion of the interactive content 608 via the presentation component or UE 110. Also, the orchestrator component 104 or the second agent component 706 of the second vehicle 702 can control operation of the second vehicle 702, based at least in part on second control content generated by the orchestrator component 104 or the second agent component 706, to have the second vehicle 702 take appropriate action (e.g., appropriate avoidance action) to avoid undesirably interacting (e.g., colliding) with the vehicle 102 during the recreation of the vehicle action sequence.

If an acknowledgement message is received from the second agent component 706 of the second vehicle 702 (as indicated at reference numeral 710 or 710′), and the acknowledgement message indicates or acknowledges that the second vehicle 702 and/or second occupant received the notification message, are aware that the vehicle 102 will be recreating the vehicle action sequence, and agree to participate in recreating the vehicle action sequence, the orchestrator component 104 or agent component 106 can determine that the second vehicle 702 is going to participate along with vehicle 102 in recreating the vehicle action sequence. In response to receiving such acknowledgement message, the orchestrator component 104 can receive second sensor data from a second sensor component of or associated with the second vehicle 702, wherein the second sensor component can comprise sensors that can sense the second environmental conditions (e.g., road conditions, weather conditions, . . . ) associated with the second vehicle 702 and second vehicle conditions of the second vehicle 702 (e.g., conditions, including functionality and capabilities, of vehicle components of the second vehicle 702). The orchestrator component 104 can analyze the second sensor data, and can determine the second environmental conditions and second vehicle conditions associated with the second vehicle 702 based at least in part on the results of analyzing the second sensor data.

The orchestrator component 104 can generate second interactive content, comprising video content of the video program 604, second VR content, second AR content, and/or second control content, based at least in part on the vehicle action sequence 602, and the second environmental conditions and the second vehicle conditions associated with the second vehicle 702. The second interactive content can facilitate enabling the second vehicle 702 to recreate a second portion of the vehicle action sequence depicted in the video program 604. The second portion of the vehicle action sequence can relate to actions of a corresponding second vehicle depicted in the video of the vehicle action sequence 602 in the video program 604. The second control content that can be utilized to control operation of the second vehicle 702 to have the second vehicle 702 recreate the second portion of the vehicle action sequence identified in the video program 604 and relating to the corresponding second vehicle depicted in the video of the vehicle action sequence.

A first portion of the second interactive content can comprise video content of the video program 604, and/or the second AR content and/or second VR content that can be determined based at least in part on such video content. For instance, the first portion of the second interactive content can visually recreate a second version of the vehicle action sequence (e.g., a visual recreation of the vehicle action sequence from the perspective of the second vehicle 702). The second AR content or second VR content can recreate 3-D visual aspects of the vehicle action sequence identified in the video program 604 such that, when the second AR content or second VR content is presented to the second occupant on display screens in the second vehicle 702 or the second occupant's UE, the second occupant can be immersed in the scene (e.g., 3-D object scene of the vehicle action sequence) in synchronization with the second control content controlling the operation of the second vehicle 702 to have the second vehicle 702 recreate the second portion of the vehicle action sequence relating to the corresponding second vehicle depicted in the video of the vehicle action sequence as if the second occupant was in (e.g., part of) the video program 604 (e.g., in the movie, TV program, or other video content).

The orchestrator component 104 can communicate the second interactive content to the second agent component 706. The second agent component 706 can utilize (e.g., execute) the second control content to control operation of the second vehicle 702 to have the second vehicle 702 recreate the second portion of the vehicle action sequence (and present the first portion of the second interactive content in synchronization with such operation of the second vehicle 702) in coordination and/or synchronization with the agent component 106 utilizing the control content to control operation of the vehicle 102 to have the vehicle 102 recreate its portion of the vehicle action sequence (and present the portion of the interactive content in synchronization with such operation of the vehicle 102).

In some embodiments, the orchestrator component 104 or agent component 106 can train the vehicle for future activities and/or entertainment experiences. For instance, the orchestrator component 104 or agent component 106 can track and analyze respective conditions or characteristics of the various vehicle components 108 of the vehicle 102 over time. The orchestrator component 104 or agent component 106 can determine or learn various characteristics of the various vehicle components 108 of the vehicle 102 based at least in part on the analysis the respective conditions or characteristics of the various vehicle components 108. For example, the orchestrator component 104 or agent component 106 can determine or learn the drag coefficient of the vehicle 102 and/or the impact on occupants of the vehicle 102, the respective steering characteristics of the vehicle 102 under respective conditions, the respective acceleration characteristics of the vehicle 102 under respective conditions, respective traction characteristics of the vehicle 102 (e.g., tires of the vehicle 102) under respective conditions, and/or the respective braking characteristics of the vehicle 102 under respective conditions, etc. Based at least in part on the determining or learning the various characteristics of the various vehicle components 108 of the vehicle 102, the orchestrator component 104 or agent component 106 can train the vehicle 102 and/or control operation of the vehicle to more desirably operate during future activities and/or entertainment experiences.

FIG. 8 depicts a diagram of an example entertainment experience flow process 800, in accordance with various aspects and embodiments of the disclosed subject matter. As part of the example entertainment experience flow process 800, at reference numeral 802, a participant 804 (e.g., user or vehicle occupant) can enter an automobile 806 (e.g., vehicle, such as an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle). At reference numeral 808, an entertainment request can be presented (e.g., communicated) to request or select a scene (e.g., an entertainment experience) from scene/selection 810 of or associated with the orchestrator component. For instance, the participant 804 can input information via an interface of the agent component of the automobile 806 or a device (e.g., smart phone, AR/VR headset, or computer, . . . ) of the participant 804, wherein the input information can comprise the entertainment request.

At reference numeral 812, the scene/selection 810 (e.g., scene/selection component) of or associated with the orchestrator component can query the participant 804 for content. For instance, the scene/selection 810 can generate a query requesting the participant 804 to select the desired content (e.g., desired content of a desired entertainment experience), and can communicate the query to the participant 804 via the interface of the agent component or the device of the user. In some embodiments, the scene/selection 810 can present a number of choices or recommendations of content and associated entertainment experiences. The orchestrator component can determine the choices or recommendations of content and associated entertainment experiences based at least in part on the results of analyzing input information received from the participant 804, preferences from a profile of the participant 804, and/or other information (e.g., location information regarding the location of the automobile 806, travel information regarding where the participant 804 desires or is willing to travel to and/or the amount of time available to the participant 804 for travel and the entertainment experience, and/or sensor data relating to environmental conditions and/or vehicle conditions associated with the automobile 806).

As indicated at reference numeral 814, the participant 804 can select the desired content and the content selection can be communicated to the orchestrator component 816 (orchestrator). For instance, via the interface of or associated with the agent component or via the device of the participant 804, the content selection (e.g., selected program) can be communicated to the orchestrator component 816.

As indicated at reference numeral 818, the orchestrator component 816 can initiate a query to a location database 820 (locationDB) of or associated with the orchestrator component 816, wherein the query can relate to or request information regarding the location associated with the content selection and associated entertainment experience, navigation (e.g., travel route) to the location, and the physics and/or physical characteristics associated with the location and/or navigation. For instance, the orchestrator component 816 can determine and generate the query based at least in part on the content selection received from the participant 804. The orchestrator component 816 can communicate the query to the location database 820. Based at least in part on the query (e.g., in response to the query), the location database 820 can determine information regarding the location associated with the content selection and associated entertainment experience, navigation to the location, and the physics and/or physical characteristics associated with the location and/or navigation. The orchestrator component 816 can receive such information responsive to the query from the location database 820.

As indicated at reference numeral 822, the orchestrator component 816 can determine (e.g., compute or calculate) kinesthetics 824 based at least in part on the location associated with the content selection and associated entertainment experience, the navigation to the location, the physics and/or physical characteristics associated with the location and/or navigation, and/or other pertinent information. As indicated at reference numeral 826, the orchestrator component 816 also can initiate a query for visuals 828 (e.g., visual content) relating to the selected content and associated entertainment experience. For instance, the orchestrator component 816 can determine and generate such a query to request or obtain the visuals 828 that can relate to the entertainment experience, including the selected content, the location(s) where the entertainment experience is to be provided to the participant 804, the navigation to the location, the physics and/or physical characteristics associated with the location and/or navigation, and/or the other pertinent information. The orchestrator component 816 can obtain the visuals 828 from a database (e.g., database of visual information and/or other information (e.g., audio content, haptic content, . . . ) relating to entertainment experiences) of a data store of or associated with the orchestrator component 816. As an example, if the entertainment experience relates to a historical reenactment of a historical event, the visuals 828 can comprise visual content (e.g., video content, AR content, and/or VR content) that can facilitate recreating or reenacting the historical event at the location or as the automobile 806 travels to the location, through the location, and/or from the location. The orchestrator component 816 also can determine, generate, and/or query for audio content and/or haptic content relating to the selected content and associated entertainment experience.

As indicated at reference numeral 830, the orchestrator component 816 (e.g., employing the agent component of the vehicle) can execute or facilitate executing the entertainment experience (e.g., execute the plan), including the content (e.g., interactive content, comprising the visual content, control content, audio content, and/or haptic content) relating to the entertainment experience, at the location (or en route to or from the location, as appropriate).

As indicated at reference numeral 832, if the entertainment experience is determined or predicted (e.g., by the orchestrator component 816, or the agent component of the automobile 806) to involve an adjacent experience of the automobile 806 such that the actions or movement of the automobile 806 during the entertainment experience will impact (e.g., interrupt performance of, collide with) or potentially can impact another vehicle(s) (e.g., car(s)) in proximity to the automobile 806 (e.g., if such other vehicle(s) continues along its current or expected course of action), the orchestrator component 816 (or the agent component of the automobile 806) can notify the other vehicle(s) of such adjacent experience of the automobile 806 to enable the other vehicle(s) to take appropriate action to avoid the impact or potential impact (or to send a response message indicating that the other vehicle(s) does not agree to modify its operation to allow the automobile 806 to engage in the adjacent experience).

FIG. 9 presents a diagram of another example entertainment experience flow process 900, in accordance with various aspects and embodiments of the disclosed subject matter. As part of the example entertainment experience flow process 900, as indicated at reference numeral 902, a first passenger 904 (e.g., passenger 1, such as a first user or first vehicle occupant) can enter an autonomous vehicle 906 and can initiate or request a drive (e.g., transportation) by the autonomous vehicle 906. As indicated at reference numeral 908, the presence of a second passenger 910 (e.g., passenger 2, such as a second user or second vehicle occupant) can be detected (e.g., by the agent component of the vehicle 906 or the orchestrator component associated with the agent component).

As indicated at reference numeral 912, the agent component, the orchestrator component, or the passengers (e.g., 904, 910) can determine an aggregate consensus regarding the desired entertainment experience, including the itinerary 914 for the excursion and/or content to be presented during the excursion. For instance, the passengers (e.g., 904, 910) can reach a consensus regarding the entertainment experience, including the itinerary and the content, or the agent component or orchestrator component can determine or decide the aggregate consensus based at least in part on information received from the passengers (e.g., 904, 910) and/or subscriptions associated with the passengers (e.g., 904, 910).

As indicated at reference numeral 916, the respective profiles (e.g., user profiles) of the respective passengers (e.g., 904, 910) can be updated, based at least in part on information relating to the aggregate consensus of or associated with the passengers (e.g., 904, 910), in connection with a determination regarding a recommendation 918 of an entertainment experience for the passengers (e.g., 904, 910). For instance, the orchestrator component or the agent component can update the respective profiles of the respective passengers (e.g., 904, 910) to include information relating to the aggregate consensus of or associated with the passengers (e.g., 904, 910) in connection with making a determination regarding the recommendation 918 of an entertainment experience that can be provided to the passengers (e.g., 904, 910) while traveling in the autonomous vehicle 906.

As indicated at reference numeral 920, in connection with determining (e.g., to facilitate determining) the recommendation 918, the orchestrator component can collect (e.g., receive or obtain) preferences 922 of the passengers (e.g., 904, 910) from respective profiles (e.g., user profiles) of the passengers (e.g., 904, 910), wherein the respective profiles can be stored in a data store of or associated with the orchestrator component. The respective profiles can comprise respective preference information regarding the respective preferences 922 of the respective passengers (e.g., 904, 910).

At 1602, another vehicle can be detected within a defined distance of the vehicle based at least in part on sensor data. The orchestrator component or agent component can detect or determine that one or more other vehicles, including the other vehicle, are within a defined distance of the vehicle, based at least in part on the sensor data received from one or more sensors that can detect objects (e.g., the other vehicle) and/or locations of the objects.

At 1604, a determination can be made that, at the time the vehicle will be recreating the vehicle action sequence, the other vehicle will be in sufficiently close proximity to the vehicle such that the other vehicle can be impacted by the vehicle recreating the vehicle action sequence. Based at least in part on the sensor data and the time period in the interactive content where the vehicle action sequence occurs, the orchestrator component or agent component can determine or predict that, at the time the vehicle will be recreating the vehicle action sequence, the other vehicle will be in sufficiently close proximity to the vehicle such that the other vehicle can be impacted by the vehicle recreating the vehicle action sequence.

At 1606, a notification message can be communicated to a device of the other vehicle to notify the device and/or the other occupant of the other vehicle that the vehicle intends to recreate the vehicle action sequence. The orchestrator component or agent component can generate the notification message and can communicate the notification message to the device (e.g., communication device or another agent component) to notify the device and/or the other occupant of the other vehicle that the vehicle intends to recreate the vehicle action sequence.

At 1608, an acknowledgement message can be received from the device of the other vehicle, wherein the acknowledgement message can indicate or acknowledge that the other vehicle and/or the other occupant of the other vehicle received the notification message, are aware that the vehicle will be recreating the vehicle action sequence, and agree to take appropriate action to avoid any undesirable interaction with the vehicle (e.g., agree to take action to avoid colliding or potentially colliding with the vehicle). The device of the other vehicle can communicate the acknowledgement message to the orchestrator component or agent component. The orchestrator component or agent component can receive the acknowledgement message.

At 1610, in response to the acknowledgement message, the operation of the vehicle can be controlled to perform the vehicle action sequence, based at least in part on the control content of the interactive content.

The orchestrator component or the device (e.g., another agent component) of the other vehicle can control operation of the other vehicle, based at least in part on other control content generated by the orchestrator component or the device, to have the other vehicle take appropriate action (e.g., appropriate avoidance action) to avoid undesirably interacting (e.g., colliding) with the vehicle during the vehicle action sequence.

In some embodiments, if, instead, no acknowledgement message was received by the orchestrator component or agent component, either because the device of the other vehicle did not respond to the notification message, the device of the other vehicle communicated a message indicating that the other vehicle or occupant did not agree to take appropriate action (e.g., appropriate avoidance action), or the acknowledgement message was sent by the device, but not received (e.g., not received at all or not received in time) by the orchestrator component or agent component, the orchestrator component or agent component can determine that the vehicle is not permitted to recreate the vehicle action sequence, and can control operation of the vehicle to not have the vehicle recreate the vehicle action sequence.

It is to be appreciated and understood that, while the methods 1500 and 1600 can involve determining and generating interactive content prior to the notification message being sent and the acknowledgement message being received, the disclosed subject matter is not so limited, as, in accordance with some embodiments, the determining and generating of the interactive content can occur after a notification message has been sent to the other vehicle (e.g., agent component of the other vehicle) and the acknowledgement message, which indicates that other vehicle agrees to take appropriate action in response to the vehicle performing the vehicle action sequence, has been received by the orchestrator component or agent component of or associated with the vehicle.

For instance, the second AR content or second VR content can recreate 3-D visual aspects of the vehicle action sequence identified in the video content such that, when the second AR content or second VR content is presented to the second vehicle occupant on display screens in the second vehicle or the UE, the second occupant can be immersed in the scene (e.g., 3-D object scene of the vehicle action sequence) in synchronization with the second control content controlling the operation of the second vehicle to have the second vehicle recreate the portion of the vehicle action sequence relating to the corresponding second vehicle depicted in the video of the vehicle action sequence as if the second occupant was in (e.g., part of) the video content (e.g., in the movie, TV program, or another program). In certain embodiments, the second agent component of the second vehicle can present and/or execute the respective types of second interactive content (e.g., video content, second visual content, second AR content, second VR content, second audio content, second haptic content, and/or second control content) in synchronization with each other.

In some embodiments, if, instead, an acknowledgement message was received by the orchestrator component or agent component that indicates that the second vehicle and/or second occupant of the second vehicle received the notification message, are aware that the vehicle will be recreating the vehicle action sequence, and agree to take appropriate action to avoid any undesirable interaction with the vehicle (e.g., agree to take action to avoid colliding or potentially colliding with the vehicle), but do not desire to participate in recreating the vehicle action sequence, the orchestrator component or agent component can control operation of the vehicle, based at least in part on the control content, to have the vehicle recreate (e.g., perform or execute) the vehicle action sequence in conjunction with the presentation of the first portion of the interactive content, comprising the video content, AR content, and/or VR content, via the presentation component of the vehicle or the UE to the user. Also, the orchestrator component or the device (e.g., a second agent component) of the second vehicle can control operation of the second vehicle, based at least in part on other control content generated by the orchestrator component or the device, to have the second vehicle take appropriate action (e.g., appropriate avoidance action) to avoid undesirably interacting (e.g., colliding) with the vehicle during the recreation of the vehicle action sequence.

In other embodiments, if, instead, no acknowledgement message was received by the orchestrator component or agent component from the device of the second vehicle, either because the device of the second vehicle did not respond to the notification message, the device of the second vehicle communicated a message indicating that the second vehicle or second occupant did not agree to take appropriate action (e.g., appropriate avoidance action), or the acknowledgement message was sent by the device, but not received (e.g., not received at all or not received in time) by the orchestrator component or agent component, the orchestrator component or agent component can determine that the vehicle is not permitted to recreate the vehicle action sequence, and can control operation of the vehicle to not have the vehicle recreate the vehicle action sequence.

It is to be appreciated and understood that, while the methods 1500 and 1700 can involve determining and generating interactive content prior to the notification message being sent and the acknowledgement message being received, the disclosed subject matter is not so limited, as, in accordance with some embodiments, the determining and generating of the interactive content (e.g., interactive content and/or second interactive content) can occur after a notification message has been sent to the second vehicle (e.g., second agent component of the second vehicle) and the acknowledgement message, which indicates that second vehicle agrees to take appropriate action in response to the vehicle performing the vehicle action sequence and/or agrees to participate in the vehicle action sequence, has been received by the orchestrator component or agent component of or associated with the vehicle.

Referring now to FIG. 18 , depicted is an example block diagram of an example UE 1800 (e.g., wireless, mobile, or smart phone, AR/VR headset, computer, electronic pad or tablet, or IoT device, . . . ) operable to engage in a system architecture that facilitates wireless communications according to one or more embodiments described herein. Although a UE is illustrated herein, it will be understood that other devices can be a communication device, and that the UE is merely illustrated to provide context for the embodiments of the various embodiments described herein. The following discussion is intended to provide a brief, general description of an example of a suitable environment in which the various embodiments can be implemented. While the description includes a general context of computer-executable instructions embodied on a machine-readable storage medium, those skilled in the art will recognize that the disclosed subject matter also can be implemented in combination with other program modules and/or as a combination of hardware and software.

Generally, applications (e.g., program modules) can include routines, programs, components, data structures, etc., that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the methods described herein can be practiced with other system configurations, including single-processor or multiprocessor systems, minicomputers, mainframe computers, as well as personal computers, hand-held computing devices, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, and the like, each of which can be operatively coupled to one or more associated devices.

A computing device can typically include a variety of machine-readable media. Machine-readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by the computer and includes both volatile and non-volatile media, removable and non-removable media. By way of example and not limitation, computer-readable media can comprise computer storage media and communication media. Computer storage media can include volatile and/or non-volatile media, removable and/or non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information, such as computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules, or other data. Computer storage media can include, but is not limited to, RAM, ROM, EEPROM, flash memory or other memory technology, solid state drive (SSD) or other solid-state storage technology, Compact Disk Read Only Memory (CD ROM), digital video disk (DVD), Blu-ray disk, or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to store the desired information and which can be accessed by the computer. In this regard, the terms “tangible” or “non-transitory” herein as applied to storage, memory or computer-readable media, are to be understood to exclude only propagating transitory signals per se as modifiers and do not relinquish rights to all standard storage, memory or computer-readable media that are not only propagating transitory signals per se.

Communication media typically embodies computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules, or other data in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transport mechanism, and includes any information delivery media. The term “modulated data signal” means a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. By way of example, and not limitation, communication media includes wired media such as a wired network or direct-wired connection, and wireless media such as acoustic, RF, infrared and other wireless media. Combinations of the any of the above should also be included within the scope of computer-readable media.

The UE 1800 can include a processor 1802 for controlling and processing all onboard operations and functions. A memory 1804 interfaces to the processor 1802 for storage of data and one or more applications 1806 (e.g., a video player software, user feedback component software, etc.). Other applications can include voice recognition of predetermined voice commands that facilitate initiation of the user feedback signals. The applications 1806 can be stored in the memory 1804 and/or in a firmware 1808, and executed by the processor 1802 from either or both the memory 1804 or/and the firmware 1808. The firmware 1808 can also store startup code for execution in initializing the UE 1800. A communication component 1810 interfaces to the processor 1802 to facilitate wired/wireless communication with external systems, e.g., cellular networks, VoIP networks, and so on. Here, the communication component 1810 can also include a suitable cellular transceiver 1811 (e.g., a GSM transceiver) and/or an unlicensed transceiver 1813 (e.g., Wi-Fi, WiMax) for corresponding signal communications. The UE 1800 can be a device such as a cellular telephone, a PDA with mobile communications capabilities, and messaging-centric devices. The communication component 1810 also facilitates communications reception from terrestrial radio networks (e.g., broadcast), digital satellite radio networks, and Internet-based radio services networks.

The UE 1800 includes a display 1812 for displaying text, images, video, telephony functions (e.g., a Caller ID function), setup functions, and for user input. For example, the display 1812 can also be referred to as a “screen” that can accommodate the presentation of multimedia content (e.g., music metadata, messages, wallpaper, graphics, etc.). The display 1812 can also display videos and can facilitate the generation, editing and sharing of video quotes. A serial I/O interface 1814 is provided in communication with the processor 1802 to facilitate wired and/or wireless serial communications (e.g., USB, and/or IEEE 1394) through a hardwire connection, and other serial input devices (e.g., a keyboard, keypad, and mouse). This supports updating and troubleshooting the UE 1800, for example. Audio capabilities are provided with an audio I/O component 1816, which can include a speaker for the output of audio signals related to, for example, indication that the user pressed the proper key or key combination to initiate the user feedback signal. The audio I/O component 1816 also facilitates the input of audio signals through a microphone to record data and/or telephony voice data, and for inputting voice signals for telephone conversations.

The UE 1800 can include a slot interface 1818 for accommodating a SIC (Subscriber Identity Component) in the form factor of a card Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) or universal SIM 1820, and interfacing the SIM card 1820 with the processor 1802. However, it is to be appreciated that the SIM card 1820 can be manufactured into the UE 1800, and updated by downloading data and software.

The UE 1800 can process IP data traffic through the communication component 1810 to accommodate IP traffic from an IP network such as, for example, the Internet, a corporate intranet, a home network, a person area network, etc., through an ISP or broadband cable provider. Thus, VoIP traffic can be utilized by the UE 1800 and IP-based multimedia content can be received in either an encoded or a decoded format.

A video processing component 1822 (e.g., a camera) can be provided for decoding encoded multimedia content. The video processing component 1822 can aid in facilitating the generation, editing, and sharing of video quotes. The UE 1800 also includes a power source 1824 in the form of batteries and/or an AC power subsystem, which power source 1824 can interface to an external power system or charging equipment (not shown) by a power I/O component 1826.

The UE 1800 can also include a video component 1830 for processing video content received and, for recording and transmitting video content. For example, the video component 1830 can facilitate the generation, editing and sharing of video quotes. A location tracking component 1832 facilitates geographically locating the UE 1800. As described hereinabove, this can occur when the user initiates the feedback signal automatically or manually. A user input component 1834 facilitates the user initiating the quality feedback signal. The user input component 1834 can also facilitate the generation, editing and sharing of video quotes. The user input component 1834 can include such conventional input device technologies such as a keypad, keyboard, mouse, stylus pen, and/or touch screen, for example.

Referring again to the applications 1806, a hysteresis component 1836 facilitates the analysis and processing of hysteresis data, which is utilized to determine when to associate with the access point. A software trigger component 1838 can be provided that facilitates triggering of the hysteresis component 1836 when the Wi-Fi transceiver 1813 detects the beacon of the access point. A SIP client 1840 enables the UE 1800 to support SIP protocols and register the subscriber with the SIP registrar server. The applications 1806 can also include a client 1842 that provides at least the capability of discovery, play and store of multimedia content, for example, music.

The UE 1800, as indicated above related to the communication component 1810, includes an indoor network radio transceiver 1813 (e.g., Wi-Fi transceiver). This function supports the indoor radio link, such as IEEE 802.11, for the dual-mode GSM device (e.g., UE 1800). The UE 1800 can accommodate at least satellite radio services through a device (e.g., handset device) that can combine wireless voice and digital radio chipsets into a single device (e.g., single handheld device).

In order to provide additional context for various embodiments described herein, FIG. 19 and the following discussion are intended to provide a brief, general description of a suitable computing environment 1900 in which the various embodiments of the embodiments described herein can be implemented. While the embodiments have been described above in the general context of computer-executable instructions that can run on one or more computers, those skilled in the art will recognize that the embodiments can be also implemented in combination with other program modules and/or as a combination of hardware and software.

Generally, program modules include routines, programs, components, data structures, etc., that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the methods can be practiced with other computer system configurations, including single-processor or multiprocessor computer systems, minicomputers, mainframe computers, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, distributed computing systems, as well as personal computers, hand-held computing devices, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, and the like, each of which can be operatively coupled to one or more associated devices.

The illustrated embodiments of the embodiments herein can be also practiced in distributed computing environments where certain tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules can be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.

Computing devices typically include a variety of media, which can include computer-readable storage media, machine-readable storage media, and/or communications media, which two terms are used herein differently from one another as follows. Computer-readable storage media or machine-readable storage media can be any available storage media that can be accessed by the computer and includes both volatile and nonvolatile media, removable and non-removable media. By way of example, and not limitation, computer-readable storage media or machine-readable storage media can be implemented in connection with any method or technology for storage of information such as computer-readable or machine-readable instructions, program modules, structured data or unstructured data.

Computer-readable storage media can include, but are not limited to, random access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM), electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM), flash memory or other memory technology, compact disk read only memory (CD-ROM), digital versatile disk (DVD), Blu-ray disc (BD) or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, solid state drives or other solid state storage devices, or other tangible and/or non-transitory media which can be used to store desired information. In this regard, the terms “tangible” or “non-transitory” herein as applied to storage, memory or computer-readable media, are to be understood to exclude only propagating transitory signals per se as modifiers and do not relinquish rights to all standard storage, memory or computer-readable media that are not only propagating transitory signals per se.

Computer-readable storage media can be accessed by one or more local or remote computing devices, e.g., via access requests, queries or other data retrieval protocols, for a variety of operations with respect to the information stored by the medium.

Communications media typically embody computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other structured or unstructured data in a data signal such as a modulated data signal, e.g., a carrier wave or other transport mechanism, and includes any information delivery or transport media. The term “modulated data signal” or signals refers to a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in one or more signals. By way of example, and not limitation, communication media include wired media, such as a wired network or direct-wired connection, and wireless media such as acoustic, RF, infrared and other wireless media.

With reference again to FIG. 19 , the example environment 1900 for implementing various embodiments of the aspects described herein includes a computer 1902, the computer 1902 including a processing unit 1904, a system memory 1906 and a system bus 1908. The system bus 1908 couples system components including, but not limited to, the system memory 1906 to the processing unit 1904. The processing unit 1904 can be any of various commercially available processors. Dual microprocessors and other multi-processor architectures can also be employed as the processing unit 1904.

The system bus 1908 can be any of several types of bus structure that can further interconnect to a memory bus (with or without a memory controller), a peripheral bus, and a local bus using any of a variety of commercially available bus architectures. The system memory 1906 includes ROM 1910 and RAM 1912. A basic input/output system (BIOS) can be stored in a non-volatile memory such as ROM, erasable programmable read only memory (EPROM), EEPROM, which BIOS contains the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within the computer 1902, such as during startup. The RAM 1912 can also include a high-speed RAM such as static RAM for caching data.

The computer 1902 further includes an internal hard disk drive (HDD) 1914 (e.g., EIDE, SATA), one or more external storage devices 1916 (e.g., a magnetic floppy disk drive (FDD) 1916, a memory stick or flash drive reader, a memory card reader, etc.) and an optical disk drive 1920 (e.g., which can read or write from a CD-ROM disc, a DVD, a BD, etc.). While the internal HDD 1914 is illustrated as located within the computer 1902, the internal HDD 1914 can also be configured for external use in a suitable chassis (not shown). Additionally, while not shown in environment 1900, a solid state drive (SSD) could be used in addition to, or in place of, an HDD 1914. The HDD 1914, external storage device(s) 1916 and optical disk drive 1920 can be connected to the system bus 1908 by an HDD interface 1924, an external storage interface 1926 and an optical drive interface 1928, respectively. The interface 1924 for external drive implementations can include at least one or both of Universal Serial Bus (USB) and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1394 interface technologies. Other external drive connection technologies are within contemplation of the embodiments described herein.

The drives and their associated computer-readable storage media provide nonvolatile storage of data, data structures, computer-executable instructions, and so forth. For the computer 1902, the drives and storage media accommodate the storage of any data in a suitable digital format. Although the description of computer-readable storage media above refers to respective types of storage devices, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other types of storage media which are readable by a computer, whether presently existing or developed in the future, could also be used in the example operating environment, and further, that any such storage media can contain computer-executable instructions for performing the methods described herein.

A number of program modules can be stored in the drives and RAM 1912, including an operating system 1930, one or more application programs 1932, other program modules 1934 and program data 1936. All or portions of the operating system, applications, modules, and/or data can also be cached in the RAM 1912. The systems and methods described herein can be implemented utilizing various commercially available operating systems or combinations of operating systems.

Computer 1902 can optionally comprise emulation technologies. For example, a hypervisor (not shown) or other intermediary can emulate a hardware environment for operating system 1930, and the emulated hardware can optionally be different from the hardware illustrated in FIG. 19 . In such an embodiment, operating system 1930 can comprise one virtual machine (VM) of multiple VMs hosted at computer 1902. Furthermore, operating system 1930 can provide runtime environments, such as the Java runtime environment or the .NET framework, for applications 1932. Runtime environments are consistent execution environments that allow applications 1932 to run on any operating system that includes the runtime environment. Similarly, operating system 1930 can support containers, and applications 1932 can be in the form of containers, which are lightweight, standalone, executable packages of software that include, e.g., code, runtime, system tools, system libraries and settings for an application.

Further, computer 1902 can be enable with a security module, such as a trusted processing module (TPM). For instance, with a TPM, boot components hash next in time boot components, and wait for a match of results to secured values, before loading a next boot component. This process can take place at any layer in the code execution stack of computer 1902, e.g., applied at the application execution level or at the operating system (OS) kernel level, thereby enabling security at any level of code execution.

A user can enter commands and information into the computer 1902 through one or more wired/wireless input devices, e.g., a keyboard 1938, a touch screen 1940, and a pointing device, such as a mouse 1942. Other input devices (not shown) can include a microphone, an infrared (IR) remote control, a radio frequency (RF) remote control, or other remote control, a joystick, a virtual reality controller and/or virtual reality headset, a game pad, a stylus pen, an image input device, e.g., camera(s), a gesture sensor input device, a vision movement sensor input device, an emotion or facial detection device, a biometric input device, e.g., fingerprint or iris scanner, or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 1904 through an input device interface 1944 that can be coupled to the system bus 1908, but can be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port, an IEEE 1394 serial port, a game port, a USB port, an IR interface, a BLUETOOTH® interface, etc.

A monitor 1946 or other type of display device can be also connected to the system bus 1908 via an interface, such as a video adapter 1948. In addition to the monitor 1946, a computer typically includes other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as speakers, printers, etc.

The computer 1902 can operate in a networked environment using logical connections via wired and/or wireless communications to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer(s) 1950. The remote computer(s) 1950 can be a workstation, a server computer, a router, a personal computer, portable computer, microprocessor-based entertainment appliance, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described relative to the computer 1902, although, for purposes of brevity, only a memory/storage device 1952 is illustrated. The logical connections depicted include wired/wireless connectivity to a local area network (LAN) 1954 and/or larger networks, e.g., a wide area network (WAN) 1956. Such LAN and WAN networking environments are commonplace in offices and companies, and facilitate enterprise-wide computer networks, such as intranets, all of which can connect to a global communications network, e.g., the Internet.

When used in a LAN networking environment, the computer 1902 can be connected to the local network 1954 through a wired and/or wireless communication network interface or adapter 1958. The adapter 1958 can facilitate wired or wireless communication to the LAN 1954, which can also include a wireless access point (AP) disposed thereon for communicating with the adapter 1958 in a wireless mode.

When used in a WAN networking environment, the computer 1902 can include a modem 1960 or can be connected to a communications server on the WAN 1956 via other means for establishing communications over the WAN 1956, such as by way of the Internet. The modem 1960, which can be internal or external and a wired or wireless device, can be connected to the system bus 1908 via the input device interface 1944. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the computer 1902 or portions thereof, can be stored in the remote memory/storage device 1952. It will be appreciated that the network connections shown are example and other means of establishing a communications link between the computers can be used.

When used in either a LAN or WAN networking environment, the computer 1902 can access cloud storage systems or other network-based storage systems in addition to, or in place of, external storage devices 1916 as described above. Generally, a connection between the computer 1902 and a cloud storage system can be established over a LAN 1954 or WAN 1956, e.g., by the adapter 1958 or modem 1960, respectively. Upon connecting the computer 1902 to an associated cloud storage system, the external storage interface 1926 can, with the aid of the adapter 1958 and/or modem 1960, manage storage provided by the cloud storage system as it would other types of external storage. For instance, the external storage interface 1926 can be configured to provide access to cloud storage sources as if those sources were physically connected to the computer 1902.

The computer 1902 can be operable to communicate with any wireless devices or entities operatively disposed in wireless communication, e.g., a printer, scanner, desktop and/or portable computer, portable data assistant, communications satellite, any piece of equipment or location associated with a wirelessly detectable tag (e.g., a kiosk, news stand, store shelf, etc.), and telephone. This can include Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) and BLUETOOTH® wireless technologies. Thus, the communication can be a predefined structure as with a conventional network or simply an ad hoc communication between at least two devices.

Wi-Fi, or Wireless Fidelity, allows connection to the Internet from a couch at home, in a hotel room, or a conference room at work, without wires. Wi-Fi is a wireless technology similar to that used in a cell phone that enables such devices, e.g., computers, to send and receive data indoors and out; anywhere within the range of a base station. Wi-Fi networks use radio technologies called IEEE 802.11 (a, b, g, etc.) to provide secure, reliable, fast wireless connectivity. A Wi-Fi network can be used to connect computers to each other, to the Internet, and to wired networks (which use IEEE 802.3 or Ethernet). Wi-Fi networks operate in the unlicensed 2.4 and 5 GHz radio bands, at an 11 Mbps (802.11a) or 54 Mbps (802.11b) data rate, for example, or with products that contain both bands (dual band), so the networks can provide real-world performance similar to the basic 10BaseT wired Ethernet networks used in many offices.

It is to be noted that aspects, features, and/or advantages of the disclosed subject matter can be exploited in substantially any wireless telecommunication or radio technology, e.g., Wi-Fi; Gi-Fi; Hi-Fi; Bluetooth; worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX); enhanced general packet radio service (enhanced GPRS); third generation partnership project (3GPP) long term evolution (LTE); third generation partnership project 2 (3GPP2) ultra mobile broadband (UMB); 3GPP universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS); high speed packet access (HSPA); high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA); high speed uplink packet access (HSUPA); GSM (global system for mobile communications) EDGE (enhanced data rates for GSM evolution) radio access network (GERAN); UMTS terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN); LTE advanced (LTE-A); etc. Additionally, some or all of the aspects described herein can be exploited in legacy telecommunication technologies, e.g., GSM.

A processor may also be implemented as a combination of computing processing units.

A processor can facilitate performing various types of operations, for example, by executing computer-executable instructions. When a processor executes instructions to perform operations, this can include the processor performing (e.g., directly performing) the operations and/or the processor indirectly performing operations, for example, by facilitating (e.g., facilitating operation of), directing, controlling, or cooperating with one or more other devices or components to perform the operations. In some implementations, a memory can store computer-executable instructions, and a processor can be communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the processor can access or retrieve computer-executable instructions from the memory and can facilitate execution of the computer-executable instructions to perform operations.

In certain implementations, a processor can be or can comprise one or more processors that can be utilized in supporting a virtualized computing environment or virtualized processing environment. The virtualized computing environment may support one or more virtual machines representing computers, servers, or other computing devices. In such virtualized virtual machines, components such as processors and storage devices may be virtualized or logically represented.
